Although there are some people that start anticipating the beginning of winter as soon as the leaves begin to change color, that's not me.

In fact, I'd say that I'm already looking forward to spring by the time the first snowflakes have hit the ground.

Bundle up and head out to ski, snowshoe, sled, snowboard and more? No thanks, I'd rather pass the time curled up on the couch or in bed with a good book. Does anything beat a warm blanket, a soft pillow, a mug of hot coffee, tea or cider, and a great read? I think not.

So, the only question left is What book are you going to choose?

On average, 64% of women keep the house warmer in the winter, but this doesn't have to mean cranking the thermostat up and experiencing higher energy bills. Instead, grab an extra blanket, a favorite pair of slippers, fleece pants or a comfy sweatshirt, an energy efficient portable heater for personal warmth and, of course, a good book.

A national survey of women conducted by the makers of Honeywell Heaters found that the top books women are cozying up with this winter include everything from Fifty Shades of Grey to The Bible. That's right!

A selection of the top 10 books that women are choosing include:

Portable heaters can supplement your central heating, keep drafty basements or workshops warm and create a personal level of comfort in whatever room you're in. By lowering the temperature in a house by a number of degrees, you can save up to hundreds in heating costs per year!
